After the men's table tennis World Cup, Ye Hao, who was interviewed again, calmed down a lot, did not speak wildly, did not speak, did not sing, and answered questions calmly and in a low-key manner. "What I have achieved is only representative of the past, and I need to continue to work hard and learn from the big brothers in the team."

Seeing this, the CCTV reporter who interviewed on the opposite side finally put his mind at ease and stopped going up and down, after all, Ye Hao's interviews have always been out of common sense, making them a little embarrassed, and they love and hate Ye Hao. After Ye Hao's interview, Liu Guoliang, the head coach of Chinese men's table tennis, was also interviewed.

Reporter: "Coach Liu, when you first took office as the head coach of the men's team, you once put forward a theory - one center, two basic points. One center is the captain of the men's team, Kong Linggray, and the two basic points are Wang Liqin and Ma Lin. Now that Ye Hao has sprung up, has your theory changed? ”

Liu Guoliang: "Ye Hao, a young player, has indeed achieved outstanding results this year, and winning the singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup in a row has indeed changed the pattern of Chinese men's table tennis. ”

Reporter: "Does this mean that Ye Hao can compete with Ma Lin and Wang Liqin, the two core players of men's table tennis, and even become the leader of men's table tennis?" ”

Liu Guoliang: "It's still too early to say who will become the leader, maybe after next year's Olympics, there will be an answer to this topic." ”

Reporter: "What era do you think the Chinese table tennis men's team has entered now after the twin star era of Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui?" ”

Liu Guoliang: "The composition of the national table tennis men's team is still very reasonable. There are experienced veterans like Kong Linghui in charge, and there are six little tigers who have already emerged. Of course ......"

Reporter: "Can you interrupt?" What do you mean by the Six Little Tigers? ”

Liu Guoliang: "Wang Hao, Chen Qi, Hao Shuai, Shan Mingjie, Qiu Yike and Zhang Chao are the six little tigers of our men's team. Originally, Ye Hao was the Seven Little Tigers, but now it's ......"

After a pause, Liu Guoliang continued: "Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, and Ye Hao form the trident of the Chinese men's team. Well, the age of the Trident! However, it is hoped that more and more little tigers will emerge to challenge the position of the three of them. ”

Liu Guoliang once proposed the era of "King of Horses", and now due to Ye Hao's birth, men's table tennis has changed from a double core to a triple core. Ye Hao officially became the core of the team with two consecutive world singles championships.

Subsequently, the Chinese table tennis men's team left Jiangyin and went to the Huangshi training base in Hubei Province for a one-and-a-half-month intensive training to prepare for the last large-scale event in 2003 - the ITTF Pro Tour Finals.

Ye Hao came to the Huangshi base for the first time, as one of the two major training bases of the Chinese table tennis team, the Huangshi base and the other base, Hebei Zhengding table tennis training base, are not unfamiliar to the ears of fans. Not only the first and second teams of national table tennis, but also other outstanding players in Asia and the whole country will also choose to train in these two table tennis meccas.

In this training for more than a month, Ye Hao has had many intra-team competitions with his teammates, and his results are very outstanding, whether it is against the "Six Little Tigers" or Ma Wang Kong, they are all more wins and fewer losses. Ye Hao maintained his good form in the men's table tennis World Cup, which cemented his position in the team.

Because the previous report on Liu Guoliang's interview has come out, the young Ye Hao is comparable to Ma Lin and Wang Liqin, two "veterans", and together constitute the core of men's table tennis. This made many people unconvinced, although Ye Hao has two world singles championships in hand, but seniority is an old habit of Chinese, and some people still say cool things. Maybe as long as Ye Hao doesn't perform well in a competition, then the voices of doubt can continue to pour out.

So Ye Hao, who sees all this, of course will not explain or refute anything for himself shallowly, his achievements and strength are the best proof, and he can block Youyou's mouth. The ITTF Tour Finals held in Guangzhou in December is another proof of Ye Hao's strength and proof that he can be the core figure of men's table tennis.

Not only that, but he also has greater "ambitions". A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Now Ye Hao can be regarded as getting rid of the identity of an ordinary soldier in the national table tennis men's team and advancing to become a general. But there is no first, there is no second, and now Ye Hao's strength and achievements make him have more plans for his future. He set his ultimate goal to become the leader of Chinese table tennis! This is his time, the time of a man!

In the three major tournaments in the table tennis world, Ye Hao has won two championships, and he has a chance to preempt Zhang Jike and create the feat of the fastest Grand Slam. That's right, Ye Hao's eyes are already on next year's Olympics in Athens, and the three singles spots of the Chinese team must occupy a place. The Olympic singles quota in the previous life was won by Ma Lin, Wang Liqin and Wang Hao, and this time, Ye Hao could only say sorry to one of the three.

However, according to Ye Hao's estimate, the person who asked for the cup is undoubtedly Wang Hao, after all, the other two and Ye Hao have now been identified as core players, which means that the three of them have taken the lead in the competition for singles tickets to the Athens Olympics. Especially Ye Hao, before the Olympic year, won the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup singles championship, as long as he maintains his condition, no one can have an advantage in this ticket battle.

At this time, within the Chinese table tennis team, the coaching staff is also discussing the singles list for next year's Olympic Games.

Cai Ping Pong has now concurrently served as the deputy director of the Table Tennis Center, and will step down as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team at the end of the year. However, even if he leaves office, his prestige in national table tennis is still the highest. (After arriving at the Football Association, it will be a cup...... ）

"Let's talk about the women's team first, Director Lu, what do you have in mind?" Cai Ping Pong to the female table tennis coach Lu Yuansheng at this time.

"Wang Lan and Zhang Yiling, these two candidates are certain, as for the third candidate, we have to observe and observe."

"What about the men's team?" Cai Pingpong looked at Liu Guoliang again.

"Tentatively Ma Lin, Wang Liqin and Ye Hao." Liu Guoliang replied without hesitation.

"The trident of Liu's guidance, who doesn't know this?" One coach quipped.

"That's right, the men's team's participation in the ITTF finals this time is three insurances, plus Wang Hao, Chen Qi and Hao Shuai, the three little tigers, are even more stable." It's a women's team coach talking.

"Isn't there also six people in your women's team, in addition to Wang Lan and Zhang Yiling, there are also Li Nan, Guo Yue, Guo Yan and Niu Jianfeng, there are also six locks, proper." Not to be outdone, a men's coach hit back.

Then everyone began to discuss the ITTF Tour Finals at the end of the year.
